Collage!

This collage represents my identity by giving clues as to what my personality is like. It also shows things that I like to do such as singing, writing poetry, listening to music, and modeling. I am a goofy, loving person who wants to live my life to the fullest. The various colors represent my colorful and playful personality as well. Although, I am a laid-back person, I still like to have fun. My favorite color is orange, my ethnicity is African-American, and my zodiac sign is Scorpio. I was born and raised in Burlington, NC. I am studying psychology at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte and my friends call me "Pocahontas" because of my long hair. I chose these images because someone who does not know me could easily look at these pictures and get a feel for who I am. Every detail is not included but I did include what I wanted the world to see and know about me.

Images and identity in our society are not as closely linked as we would like them to be. The images that we put forth are usually different from reality or our true identity. We tend to pose while we are in front of others and act as if we are "Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes". In reality, we all struggle towards the same goal; happiness. Society usually judge people on their financial situation whether they are low class, middle class, or upper class. We seem not to care about the persons actual personality. Instead, we make life a competition of who has what. Images do not show true identity. It shows what we want our true identity to be. It shows how we want others to view us.
